CERTIFICATE
It is our proud privilege and duty to acknowledge the kind of help and
guidance received from several people in preparation of this report. It would
not have been possible to prepare this report in this form without their
valuable help, cooperation and guidance.
Last but not the least, we wish to thank our parents for financing our studies
in this college as well as for constantly encouraging us to learn engineering.
Their personal sacrifice in providing this opportunity to learn engineering is
gratefully acknowledgement.

Scripting Language
Scripting languages are often interpreted (rather than compiled). Primitives are usually
the elementary tasks or API calls, and the language allows them to be combined into
more complex programs. Environments that can be automated through scripting include
software applications, web pages within a web browser, the shells of operating systems
(OS), embedded systems, as well as numerous games.
In OO programming, computer programs are designed by making them out of objects that
interact with one another. There is significant diversity in object-oriented programming, but
most popular languages are class-based, meaning that objects are instances of classes,
which typically also determines their type.
History
Python was conceived in the late 1980s, and its implementation was started in December
1989 by Guido van Rossum at CWI in the Netherlands as a successor to the ABC
language (itself inspired by SETL) capable of exception handling and interfacing with the
Amoeba operating system. Van Rossum is Python's principal author, and his continuing
central role in deciding the direction of Python is reflected in the title given to him by the
Python community, benevolent dictator for life (BDFL).
“Python is an experiment in how much freedom programmers
need. Too much freedom and nobody can read another's code;
too little and expressiveness is endangered.”
Over six years ago, in December 1989, I was looking for a "hobby" programming
project that would keep me occupied during the week around Christmas. My office ...
would be closed, but I had a home Computer, and not much else on my hands. I decided
to write an interpreter for the new scripting language I had been thinking about lately: a
descendant of ABC that would appeal to Unix/C hackers. I chose Python as a working
title for the project, being in a slightly irreverent mood (and a big fan of Monty Python's
Flying Circus).
Data Type
Data types determine whether an object can do something, or whether it just would not
make sense. Other programming languages often determine whether an operation makes
sense for an object by making sure the object can never be stored somewhere where the
operation will be performed on the object (this type system is called static typing). Python
does not do that. Instead, it stores the type of an object with the object, and checks when
the operation is performed whether that operation makes sense for that object
Python has many native data types. Here are the important ones:
Numbers can be integers (1 and 2), floats (1.1 and 1.2), fractions (1/2 and 2/3), or even
complex numbers.
Variables are nothing but reserved memory locations to store values. This means that
when you create a variable you reserve some space in memory.
Based on the data type of a variable, the interpreter allocates memory and decides what
can be stored in the reserved memory. Therefore, by assigning different data types to
variables, you can store integers, decimals or characters in these variables.
String
In programming terms, we usually call text a string. When you think of a string as a
collection of letters, the term makes sense.
All the letters, numbers, and symbols in this book could be a string.
For that matter, your name could be a string, and so could your
address.
Creating Strings
In Python, we create a string by putting quotes around text. For example, we could take our
otherwise useless
• len("hello") 5 # size
Python Operator
Arithmetic Operator
Meaning
Operator
Example
/ Divide left operand by the right one (always results into x/y
float)
% Modulus - remainder of the division of left operand by the x % y (remainder
right of x/y)
Comparison Operator
> Greater that - True if left operand is greater than the right x>y
< Less that - True if left operand is less than the right x<y
>= Greater than or equal to - True if left operand is greater than or equal x >= y
to the right
<= Less than or equal to - True if left operand is less than or equal to the +x <=
right y
Tuples
A tuple is a sequence of immutable Python objects. Tuples are sequences, just like lists. The
differences between tuples and lists are, the tuples cannot be changed unlike lists and tuples use
parentheses.
To access values in tuple, use the square brackets for slicing along with the index or
indices to obtain value available at that index. For example − tup1 = ('physics',
'chemistry', 1997, 2000); tup2 = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 ); print "tup1[0]: ", tup1[0] print
"tup2[1:5]: ", tup2[1:5]
When the above code is executed, it produces the following result − tup1[0]:
Tuples respond to the + and * operators much like strings; they mean concatenation
and repetition here too, except that the result is a new tuple, not a string. In fact, tuples
respond to all of the general sequence operations we used on strings in the prior chapter

Python Expression Results Description
List
The list is a most versatile datatype available in Python which can be written as a list of
comma- separated values (items) between square brackets. Important thing about a list is
that items in a list need not be of the same type.
Creating a list is as simple as putting different comma-separated values between
square brackets. For example − list1 = ['physics', 'chemistry', 1997, 2000]; list2 =
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ]; list3 = ["a", "b", "c", "d"];
Similar to string indices, list indices start at 0, and lists can be sliced, concatenated and so on.
Accessing Values in Lists:
To access values in lists, use the square brackets for slicing along with the index or indices
to obtain value available at that index. For example − list1 = ['physics', 'chemistry', 1997,
2000]; list2 = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 ]; print "list1[0]: ", list1[0] print "list2[1:5]: ", list2[1:5]
Output: list1[0]: physics
list2[1:5]: [2, 3, 4, 5]
Update: list = ['physics', 'chemistry', 1997, 2000]; print
list[2]
print list1
Loop definition
Programming languages provide various control structures that allow for more complicated
execution paths.
A loop statement allows us to execute a statement or group of statements multiple times. The
following diagram illustrates a loop statement −
Python programming language provides following types of loops to handle looping requirements.
nested loops You can use one or more loop inside any another while,
for or do..while loop.
Loop Example:
For Loop:
>>> for mynum in [1, 2, 3,
Hello 1
Hello 2
Hello 3
Hello 4
Hello 5
While Loop:
>>> count = 0 >>while(count< 4):
Decision making is anticipation of conditions occurring while execution of the program and
specifying actions taken according to the conditions.
Decision structures evaluate multiple expressions which produce TRUE or FALSE
as outcome. You need to determine which action to take and which statements to
execute if outcome is TRUE or FALSE otherwise.
Statement Description
Function
Function blocks begin with the keyword def followed by the function name and parentheses ( ( )
).
Any input parameters or arguments should be placed within these parentheses. You can
also define parameters inside these parentheses.
The first statement of a function can be an optional statement - the documentation string of the
function.
The code block within every function starts with a colon (:) and is indented.
The statement return [expression] exits a function, optionally passing back an expression to
the caller. A return statement with no arguments is the same as return None.
Syntex:
Def
functionname(parameters):
“function_docstring”
Function_suite
Return[expression]
Example:
Def printme(str):
“this print a passed string into this function” print str
return
